London

"What's everybody on the wrong side of the road for?"

—Mater, Cars 2

London is a British city located in England, and the location of the third World Grand Prix race in Cars 2.

London is the capital city of the United Kingdom. The town has a rich past, and it still has numerous historical buildings and monuments. It hosts the last race of the World Grand Prix.

The race track passes, as for the two other races, on the streets of the host town, in this case notably borrowing the Mall, and getting in front of Buckingham Palace.

London also appears in Cars 2: The Video Game, where many races and other missions take place.

Trivia

• An advertisement for "LasseTyre" is seen around the World Grand Prix race track. The brand's name is a play on the last name of John Lasseter, and happen to be the same as for John Lassetire's last name.
• The Lucite canopy over the Queen’s platform is based on the canopy built for Prince Charles’ investiture as the Prince of Wales.
• The architecture of the race pits in London is based on Landau bars, a design feature used on cars to simulate the look of a convertible.
• For the London race course, Pixar had to create nearly 20 miles (32 km) of landscape and environment.
• The fight between the Lemons and Mater and his friends takes place at the intersection of Tyre Iron Street and Sixth Gear Road.
• A road is named "Lasseter Way".
• The knighting room is decorated with "car-ified" ancient paintings, featuring notably a battle of sailing ships.
• The tie-in storybooks for some reason showed Holley Shiftwell's escape from Big Bentley as showing her smashing apart an entire clock face. In the actual film, Holley only smashed away the "5."

• In Cars 3: Driven to Win the London Tack from Cars 2: The Video Game is recycled as one of the unlockable racetracks under the name "London's Buckingham Sprint".
